The Gouy-Stodola theorem is often applied to refrigeration cycles. These are thermodynamic cycles or mechanical systems where external work can be used to move heat from low temperature sources to high temperature sinks, or vice versa. Specifically, the theorem is useful in analyzing vapor compression and vapor absorption refrigeration cycles.
The Poisson–Boltzmann equation describes a model proposed independently by Louis Georges Gouy and David Leonard Chapman in 1910 and 1913, respectively. [3] In the Gouy-Chapman model, a charged solid comes into contact with an ionic solution, creating a layer of surface charges and counter-ions or double layer. [4]
Interactive geometry software (IGS) or dynamic geometry environments (DGEs) are computer programs which allow one to create and then manipulate geometric constructions, primarily in plane geometry. In most IGS, one starts construction by putting a few points and using them to define new objects such as lines , circles or other points.
CGAL is an opensource Computational Geometry Algorithms Library which has support for boolean operations on Polyhedra; but no sweep, revolve or NURBS. Open CASCADE is an opensource modeling kernel. sgCore is a freeware proprietary modeling kernel distributed as an SDK. [9] K3 kernel [10] is developed by Center GeoS.
The four finite volume manifolds with this geometry are: S 2 × S 1, the mapping torus of the antipode map of S 2, the connected sum of two copies of 3-dimensional projective space, and the product of S 1 with two-dimensional projective space. The first two are mapping tori of the identity map and antipode map of the 2-sphere, and are the only ...
Desargues's theorem in geometry states that these two conditions are equivalent: if two triangles are in perspective centrally then they must also be in perspective axially, and vice versa. When this happens, the ten points and ten lines of the two perspectivities (the six triangle vertices, three crossing points, and center of perspectivity ...
A major theorem, often called the fundamental theorem of the differential geometry of surfaces, asserts that whenever two objects satisfy the Gauss-Codazzi constraints, they will arise as the first and second fundamental forms of a regular surface. Using the first fundamental form, it is possible to define new objects on a regular surface.
The reason for defining the vector derivative and integral as above is that they allow a strong generalization of Stokes' theorem. Let L ( A ; x ) {\displaystyle {\mathsf {L}}(A;x)} be a multivector-valued function of r {\displaystyle r} -grade input A {\displaystyle A} and general position x {\displaystyle x} , linear in its first argument.
